New Jersey Motorsports Park's (NJMP) greatest challenge was to develop world-class race tracks with exciting grade changes on property that was relatively flat, and yet maintain runway protection and airport safety zone restrictions imposed by the FAA. PS&S successfully created the track elevation changes, calling for 1.2 million yards of earth to be moved on 218 acres, without the use of imported fill material.

THE PS&S SOLUTION

What was once a 1,200-acre parcel of undeveloped land located adjacent to Millville Municipal Airport in Cumberland County, New Jersey, has now become a long-awaited mecca motorsports complex. Construction of the 500-acre first phase of NJMP began in June, 2007, culminating with its first racing event on July 5, 2008.

PS&S provided Environmental, Survey, Civil, Structural, Electrical Engineering, and Archaeological services. To satisfy environmental concerns, additional sound-reducing walls were constructed, a greatly enlarged buffer was put in place near a wildlife management area and tighter rules on hours of operation were agreed upon.

Note: Archaeological services were performed by PS&S’ present cultural resource staff for a previous employer.
